| Heading out from Gardiner |
We had another great ride from Winthrop last Saturday, welcoming some new riders and exploring some new pavement. A smooth introduction to riding with the KVBC! We had a fine turnout, and again some superb weather for cycling. Hopefully it will continue this weekend when we meet in Gardiner on Saturday for another tour along the quiet back roads to the south of Augusta, the route slightly modified from the original ride description in the calendar. You'll be slightly mollified when you see how nice it is. Hope to see you there!
